Welcome to rpgcodex.net, a site dedicated to discussing computer based role-playing games in a free and open fashion. We're less strict than other forums, but please refer to the rules.

Updated .map file with new connections etc.(you don't need a new .tga just drop the revised .map file in your maps folder and it should show as PehamV2 when you create a new game), please test some starts! The rivers as outlined by the map can be a little crazy. I have not uploaded this one to llamaserver yet but will do so when the game starts.https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TtCiyeKPHv0ugxZTE6vEGPYl9e35zW_b

NO MODS

Map is suitable for 5-7(8 max, unless two are water nations then maybe 9).

Turn timer will start out at 24hr then move to 36/48 some time in year 3.

Aww, I want in but I'm unable to commit atm, too busy... this is probably going to change around mid-september so, considering our usually celerius codexian commitment, I'm not totally ruling this out.

Dunno, life's been pretty good without the stress of having to make another move

But enough of talk. The time for words is over. The time for action has come. Now is the time to rise up. Now is the time to go forth. Now is the time to educate. Now is the time to subjugate. Now is the time to dominate. Now is the time to rape. Now is the time to rape. Now is the time to rape. Let the Revolt Against Penis Envy commence. Go forth! Rise up! Rape! Rape! Rape!

I would like to play Peham, if we want something other than a standard map. It is not balanced, exactly(see that start), and has too many seas.....but it looks wonderful and I've always wanted to give it a go.

That's the one. Turn based strategy game with scripted "real-time" battles(you don't control the battles, just the orders before they start). It has a lot of fun things to mess with and is quite complex/mind-numbing. Fairly robust online community that plays via PBEM essentially. Though the Discord group is a bit more advanced since they direct host.

Sounds too good to be true, so of course I'll look into it. Thanks for drawing my attention.

Just as a warning, the single-player, such as it is, just scratches the surface of the game. The AI is fine, but not that creative, and creativity against human opponents is where the game shines. Also, single player doesn't have diplomacy, trades, etc. Game can be frustrating as well, from a design standpoint(blood slaves, *shudder*). Try to find a demo, unless $$ is not an issue.

Is it impossible to play with rands?

Rands? Is that some slang term for computer opponents, or random players?

If the former, no, just gets boring. If the latter, yes. Most games are hosted on llamaserver.net, some groups use direct play(and you can direct play with friends you know as long as someone hosts iirc).

If you get the game and are looking for multiplayer, you should find a forum where people organize games and sign up for one. Feel free to ask questions. Some might want new players, some might want experienced, or a mix, or whatever. Also read the llamaserver FAQ just so you know what you are getting into with most games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=35160

The Steam game forums are decent for finding games.
dom3mods is good, but I think they are migrating their forums so be wary of that: http://s7.zetaboards.com/Dom3mods/index/
Althea's Discord group is good: https://discord.gg/QqCBzJs
Likewise with Clockwork Hounds(they do entirely direct connect games AFAIK):https://discord.gg/xRsDh56
Reditt does games, heavy on diplomacy and some silliness it seems.
QuartertoThree used to have a pretty active community, but I have not been there in a while.
We used to be much more active, but alas.

That's mostly it. Multiplayer is a bit wonky and definitely old school, but easy enough to pick up.

MB, should've been clearer. Thanks for the help mate, will definitely look into this when I have a free afternoon.

No problem, I knew what you were getting at.

But yeah, you will probably play games on llamaserver(basically PBEM but they host it), and will need to find a good community or several to join games. Mostly that entails registering and then saying, "Hey I want to join this game" when somebody posts about starting a new one.
